Make thang-kng polarised light maximize and make delustring polarised light minimize a kind of technology be in backlight and LC panels Between set reflection type polarizer (RP), reflect back into the back of the body by thang-kng polarized light transmission to LC panels and by delustring polarised light In light source.Then the delustring polarised light of reflection can be converted into by the light of polarization state, and saturating when meeting for the second time or subsequently It was shot through RP.Therefore, reflection type polarizer allows to recycle the delustring polarised light that may be otherwise consumed at least Part.
Backlight is also frequently utilized that the optical film in addition to reflection type polarizer to perform various functions.Herein will be further The directed circulation of discussion is distributed using the angle that film (DRF) can be used to manage the light launched by backlight.Also will further beg for herein The diffusion sheet of opinion can be used for multiple use, including improve the uniformity, shelter defect and prevent moire pattern outward appearance.Other Film can play a part of non-optical function, for example, provide mechanical support, but be limited with the light interaction in backlight with them, Typically it is desirable that the source such film will not produce adverse effect to the output of backlight.In addition, it is generally desirable to, used with one kind The optical film on way is not intended to be otherwise caused to the performance reduction of backlight.
Consider above-mentioned construction, thang-kng polarised light is transferred to LC panels by wherein reflection type polarizer.Backlight design personnel May want to be arranged on other optical films between RP and LC panels.In this case, it is generally desirable to, make to advance from RP To LC panels light polarization state not by other optics membrane changes between two parties.The polarization effect of optical film between two parties is set to minimize or make A kind of its approach for reducing is to form film by low (it is desirable that being isotropic) film of birefringence.For example, makrolon (PC) (birefringence tends to low value) is considered as a kind of qualified selection of the optical film between RP and LC panels.The opposing party Face, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (its generally display has anisotropy higher) often is considered as being not suitable in RP Used and LC panels between because by retardation rate caused by the birefringence in PET (or postpone) may be inadvisable change The polarization state of the light advanced towards LC panels.
Backlight manufacturer would generally consider these effects and other factorses when backlight is designed.Manufacturer can avoid Any film is set between RP and LC panels, and directed circulation can be arranged on by RP and LC faces using film with (on the contrary) selection On the relative side of plate.Manufacturer can select using film to be arranged on directed circulation between RP and LC panels, and use PC conducts Material for DRF is so that polarization effect is minimized, but cost ratio is high using PET.Similarly, it may be necessary to which reflection-type is inclined The piece that shakes is laminated on another film, so as to obtain mechanical support, and can PC is used into this kind of mechanical base to avoid reducing optics Performance.PET can provide preferable or qualified mechanical performance and can in this kind of application reduces cost, but optical property Limit its purposes.Generally, the optical film that backlight manufacturer needs are made up of such material, the material causes performance to be applicable In the possible minimum intended application of cost.
In the present invention, the purposes we talk of stretching polymer film (such as stretching PET) in the backlight, Yi Jiyong In the method for preparing such film.Film of the invention provides suitable performance for many backlight applications, it is possible to for backlight system Make business and bring the lower selection of cost.Specifically, (for example the reflection type polarizer of LC panels and enter for being arranged on polarizer Penetrate polarizer) between polymer film, it has been found that film and the preferred orientation for film make to be caused by the birefringence of film Worthless polarization effect minimize.

Both MOF reflection type polarizers and continuous phase reflection type polarizer all rely at least two materials and (usually gather Compound material) between refractive index difference optionally reflect a kind of light of polarization state, and transmit in orthogonal polarisation state Light.Suitable MOF reflection type polarizers are in (such as) jointly owned United States Patent (USP) No.5,882,774 (Jonza et al.) and name Referred to as " LOW LAYER COUNT REFLECTIVE POLARIZER WITH OPTIMIZED GAIN " (has optimized gain Low layer number reflection type polarizer) (attorney 64121US002) U.S. Patent application No.61/040,910 in Description.The example of commercially available MOF reflection type polarizers includes the Vikuiti with diffusing surfaceTMDBEF-D280 and DBEF- D400 reflection multilayer type polarizers, both of which is available from 3M companies.

Reflection type polarizer 160 can be self-supporting in display system 100, or it can be attached to other structures On.In certain embodiments, reflection type polarizer 160 can be attached in the incidence plate 114 of LC panels 110.In other realities Apply in example, reflection type polarizer 160 can be attached on diffusion sheet 140.
Display system 100 can include optical film 170.Optical film 170 can be orientation as discussed herein with (such as) Recycle film, such as prismatic brightness film or gain diffuser.It can play a part of mechanical function, such as screening glass. In certain embodiments, optical film 170 may include stretching polymer film as further described herein.Optical film 170 can be Integration, or it can include multilayer.Generally, it can be included in display system 100 for any required purposes Any suitable optical film.Optical film 170 can be self-supporting, or it can be attached other light within system 100 Learn on the one or both sides of film or optical layer.When reflection type polarizer 160 is present in system 100, optical film 170 can be by It is laminated or be otherwise affixed on reflection type polarizer, to strengthen or improve the mechanical performance of reflection type polarizer.Individually Reflection type polarizer 160 may (for example) lack the enough parts and/or dimensionally stable used in display system 100 Property, or it may be with relatively fragile property, this causes to be difficult to process in preparing, transporting and/or assembling.In such case Under, optical film 170 can have mechanical performance so that when attaching it on reflection type polarizer 160, the combination is in machinery Aspect consolidates to significantly improve the availability of reflection type polarizer enough.
When optical film 170 is arranged on into (such as) reflection type polarizer 160 and the incidence plate 114 of LC panels 110 is attached to In incident polarizer between when, we can be referred to as optical film (IPOF) between polarizer.Generally, can be inclined by reflection-type Shake piece 160 and incident polarizer is considered as LC layers 112 of display system 100 of modulation and " adjustment " or prepares from backlight Light.Once reflection type polarizer 160 transmits light from the preceding optical element of backlight 120 towards LC panels, with any non-pre- The polarization state that the mode of phase changes light is generally all worthless.May influence or may not shadow as the optical film 170 of IPOF Sound continues to the polarization state of the light of incident polarizer from reflection type polarizer 160, reaches the influence outward appearance of display system 100 Degree, this depends greatly on its birefringence property.
In addition to the example of the optical film 170 between reflection type polarizer 160 and LC panels 110 from Fig. 1, also It is contemplated that other scenes optical film being arranged between polarizer, and the discussion with regard to IPOF is also generally suitable for use in that herein A little situations.The optical film that will can also be located between the polarized lighting device and follow-up polarizer for producing polarised light is considered as IPOF, And optical film of the invention can provide beneficial effect for such construction.Polarized lighting device is in (such as) PCT Publication WO May be described in 2006/126128 (Boonekamp et al.) and WO 2004/003631 (Benoit et al.).Additionally, such as Fruit is it is contemplated that between reflection type polarizer 160 and rear reflector 134 (including both) be to constitute the polarization illumination to fill The all element showns put, then Fig. 1 can be considered as and show polarized lighting device and polarizer (with reference in incidence plate 114 Incident polarizer) between optical film 170.
Generally, avoided using high birefringence material between polarizer in the display.In the big portion that these are applied In point, these birefringent films can make light depolarize, introduce the artificially coloring vestige of excess or produce both of these case.To this Most general exception is that strong diffusion sheet is also used for birefringent film construction to hide the situation of the color for producing, and for small , the length of delay of strict control and be intended to change transmission polarization state compensation film situation.Except producing bad color effect Fruit is outer, birefringent film also result in recycle backlight luminance gain it is relatively low.
For polymeric optical films, birefringence is generally mainly by the inwardness and the mode for preparing film of polymeric material It is caused.Polymer film is generally stretched prior during preparation, and the orientation (and molecule that therefore it is included) of film can be strong The birefringence of ground influence film.In preparation, film can be stretched or is oriented either uniaxially or biaxially.
In general, compared with the film for being stretched with the film of uniaxial tension or with slightly underbalance double-shaft way, in both direction The axle that tends in membrane plane of the biaxially-stretched film that is balanced of stretch range between display there is less birefringence.Fig. 2 It is the schematic diagram of optical film, shows the orientation of the refractive index in anisotropic film.nxAnd nyIt is along the orthogonal x faces of film The refractive index of interior axle and y faces interior axle, and nzIt is the refractive index of outside face z directions (being orthogonal to x directions and y directions).In the present invention In, we will under many circumstances use coordinate system, and wherein x directions are the maximum tension directions of film.
When PET film is arranged between the polarizer of intersection or parallel polarizer and is seen with being greater than about 40 degree of incidence angle When examining, it is observed that generally refractive index is of about nx=1.68, ny=1.64 and nzThe PET film of=1.49 biaxial orientation is produced The coloury outward appearance of life.Even if minimum heart aligns the optic axis of PET film with the axle of polarizer, this still can be observed Color.Additionally it was found that, when carefully the axle of PET film aligns with the axle of polarizer, stretching more balances (i.e. nx≈ny) PET film even can more be rich in color under the incidence angle less than 30 degree.In view of such as these reasons, generally assuming that should not be anti- Using the film layer of high birefringence between emitting polarizer and another polarizer, unless it is that have and produce polarization by reflection work( Can reflection type polarizer itself in polymer film the almost identical property of microbedding and the thin layer of axle alignment.Referring to (such as) United States Patent (USP) No.5,882,774 (Jonza et al.).
In general, when when observing light after a pair of polarizers and birefringence IPOF, it can be seen that color fringe.Pass through The path through IPOF that the retardation that the particular light ray of this optical element combination is experienced will be taken depending on light.Retardation The polarization state of the different spectral components of light is changed into different degree, so as to cause through the second polarizer according to wavelength Transmission changes.The schematic diagram of this universal phenomenon under specific physical conditions is being described during Michel-Levy color table.Color Dissipate also related to these wavelength dependency effects.
nzValue is smaller than nxAnd nyOr more than nxAnd ny(wherein nxAnd nyRefractive index and minimal face infolding respectively in largest face Penetrate rate) twin shaft birefringent polymer film in atmosphere with film retardation be zero two incidence angles (along the incidence of x-axis ± θ in planesa).For all other θ directions put away from these andDirection is (whereinRepresent the orientation from point Angular displacement, i.e., relative to the rotation of z-axis), retardation increases.For many films, can be used wide-angle lens (conoscope) or Suitable angle detects by an unaided eye by the diffused light source of two polarizers and birefringence IPOF to observe the two zero points and have Color postpones the concentric circles of striped.The low latency value and moderate delay value of a kind of to several wavelength can produce very dense color, And due to transmitted light depend on wavelength quick oscillation, high retardation value (>~5 λ) produce subdued colour.
This effect, the conoscopic figure of such as Fig. 3 can be understood by means of conoscopic figure.Fig. 3 is the transmission film stack for calculating Transmitted intensity figure line, this film stack includes biaxial stretch-formed PET between parallel absorption-type polarizer and polarizer Film, the wherein thickness of this medelling film are 125 microns and refractive index is nx=1.675, ny=1.641, nz=1.4906.Partially The thang-kng axle of piece of shaking aligns with x-axis, and x-axis is slow (high index of refraction) axle of PET.The axle of figure line is the elevation angle (θa, annular concentric Circle) and azimuth (Around round);In the conoscopic figure, each point on figure represents visual angle.It is 600nm with regard to this wavelength Incident light and for the figure that calculates, retardation is zero incidence angle (it is herein referred to as " refractive index symmetric points ") Positioned at about θsaAt=± 41 degree of point of the center left side with right side along x-axis.High-visible in this figure is the highly transmissive of light With the alternate concentric circles of low transmission, they keep placed in the middle around these symmetric points.Length of delay is with the distance with these symmetric points Increase.(bright to bright or dark to dark) represents a wavelength difference in postponing for example, adjacent ring.
The figure line of Fig. 3 is to be calculated for the monochromatic light of 600nm.At other wavelength, the half of bright ring and Crape ring pattern Footpath will change proportionally with wavelength.For the wavelength (such as white light) in successive range, transmission will reflect in the range of this The combination transmission of all wavelengths;There is the maximum and minimum value of its transmission due to different spectral components at different positions, Result will produce coloured pattern.Under the background in display backlight source, the coloured pattern may make us height dislike.Coloured pattern Characteristic more significantly at the symmetric points.For from the farther viewing angle of symmetric points, the transmission of composition spectral components is strong Degree pattern can quickly change with the minor alteration of viewing angle, and can cause more subdued colour pattern.
From the research of this figure line of birefringence characteristic film within the specific limits, together with to the reality between polarizer The observation of border film, the design for having less colored IPOF of two standards significantly for being used in display backlight source.One standard is Two symmetric points are not ordinarily visible in the visual angle of display or the cone.There is provided herein description depending on the symmetrical of film refractive index The formula of point position.Note, the position of symmetric points is unrelated with film thickness.Second standard is that the retardation of film should be sufficiently high, with Qualified color is assigned in the visual angle of display or the cone.Second standard can be by using the film of thick, high birefringence And realize, because retardation can increase with film thickness.Thicker film can also provide further advantage, the mechanicalness for such as improving Energy.
It was noticed that the first standard (i.e. symmetric points are not ordinarily visible in the cone of display) is used in the cone Realize the necessary condition of high latency amount but be not adequate condition.Because birefringence is zero along symmetric points direction, therefore no matter How is the thickness of film, and retardation will be always zero along these directions.However, birefringence and retardation deviate from symmetrically with visual angle Put and increase, the value of the latter is also proportional to film thickness.
Symmetric points correspond to the pass the light that birefringent film is propagated along the direction that experience birefringence is zero.This can be tied Close Fig. 2 to recognize, this schematically represents anisotropic film.Generally, the folding of any light experience propagated through this film Rate is penetrated for nx、nyAnd nz.However, being orthogonal to the direction of propagation vibration of light due to electric field, therefore it is being orthogonal to the light direction of propagation Plane in refractive index it is especially important.Notice is restricted to incidence angle θf(subscript " f " represents film, and " a " is represented in sky Angle in gas) in x-z-plane in film propagate light, can solve by enter two orthogonal s polarized components and p-polarization The dependent index of refraction n that the light of component is experiencedyAnd nθf。nθfIt is to be experienced by the p-polarization component of the electromagnetic wave of light in x-z-plane Refractive index, and combine nxAnd nzCombined influence.It can be calculated by formula 1:
Work as nyAnd nθfWhen equal, light along the propagated that birefringence is zero, i.e., along the side corresponding to symmetric points To propagation.Known refractive index, can be from the derived expressions of formula 1 finding θsf(subscript " s " represents symmetric points):
θsfIt is the angle along the light of the propagated that birefringence is zero in film.When following condition is met, In x-z-plane, with relative to air-membrane interface (x-y plane) into θsaThe light that the incidence angle at angle is propagated in atmosphere will be with θsf Angle is refracted in film:
For some nx、ny、nzRefractive index collection, formula 2 there may be for θsfSolution, but formula 3 not be directed to θsa's Solution.This corresponds to the direction of propagation in film, it is impossible to enter the film by from air refraction to film.In other words, in film In with θsfThe light of propagation will experience total internal reflection at film-Air Interface.In such a case, it is possible to the light is referred to as into sky Light of the incidence angle more than 90 degree in gas.The film of the symmetric points with the incidence angle in air more than 90 degree will generally meet this The first standard for less colored IPOF that text is proposed, i.e. symmetric points are invisible in the cone of display because symmetric points from It is sightless in air.Film with the symmetric points less than 90 degree can still meet the first standard, because many displays should With the quite narrower cone of needs.In certain embodiments, it is 60 that IPOF goes for the aerial incidence angle of symmetric points Degree, 70 degree, 80 degree, 90 degree or the application more than 90 degree.
When being used between polarizer, one embodiment of less colored stretching polymer film can be provided by meeting The refractive index collection of following standard is characterized:(i)nx>ny>nz, (ii) nz<~1.52 and (iii) nx–ny>=~0.06.This kind of film Can be prepared so that substantially uniaxial manner stretches PET by (such as).
The advantage of optical film is visualized between in order to help to make polarizer of the invention, and Fig. 4 (can compare with Fig. 3) is meter The transmitted light intensity of the PET film of the transmission aligned adsorbent type polarizer of calculation and the substantially uniaxial orientation (stretching) between polarizer The figure line of degree, the wherein thickness of this medelling film are 125 microns and refractive index is nx=1.6801, ny=1.5838, nz= 1.5130.For these refractive indexes, symmetric points are located at the incidence angle θ in airsaBe more than 90 degree at, this is by symmetric points in figure line In sightless true reflection.
(i.e. retardation is sufficiently high to be assigned with the visual angle of display or the cone to return to the second standard on less colored IPOF Give qualified color), it was noted that we generally observe subdued colour in length of delay film high.For some use On the way, the minimum delay in using field should be at least about 5 wavelength, i.e. the edge of visual field should be at least far from symmetric points About 5 delay stripeds.In the case where being also found that color change is offensive, diffusion sheet can be added to shelter color.Can Retardation is measured with by being available from the polarimeter of (such as) Axometrics, Inc..In certain embodiments, for of interest The cone in length of delay be more than 3000nm, 4000nm, 5000nm, 6000nm, 7000nm, 8000nm, 9000nm, 10000nm Or film higher, it was observed that qualified color.Wherein retardation should can include that more than the cone of interest of these values It is a little to cover the regarding with all optical paths incident in 40 degree, 50 degree, 60 degree, 70 degree, 80 degree or an angle of 90 degrees relative to main view axle Cone.
It is two-fold we consider 5 kinds for the relation between the deep qualification for understanding length of delay and using as IPOF Penetrate film.Two kinds in film are formed by PET, and two kinds are formed by syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS), a kind of (being labeled as tentering PC) generation Table makrolon sample film, but possibly cannot obtain these accurate refractive indexes with real PC.PET and sPS films represent reality Physical samples.Measure the refractive index of these films and calculate the delay of incident light in x-z-plane.In order to clear in following comparing Then all length of delays are corrected to the film that thickness is 125 microns by Chu Qijian.
Refractive indexes of the Table I for the measurement of various films
The delay depending on the incidence angle in x-z-plane is calculated for the film with these refractive indexes, is depicted in Figure 5 As a result." twin shaft PET " is orientated using general order masking production line in the commodity production of PET film.This orientation Usual non complete symmetry.Term " tentering film " refer to it is main only in one direction stretching and orthogonal dimensions be then limited to it is constant The film of size, this is the situation occurred in standard film stenter when not using machine-direction oriented.Tentering sPS shows have Close to the refractive index of true uniaxial film.This is caused by the crystal symmetry of sPS.
Note the larger difference (curve 500 and curve 502 of Fig. 5) between the length of delay of both PET films.Biaxial orientation Retardation (curve 502) aerial incidence angle of PET be for about to intersect with zero line at 45 degree.Observed when using conoscope When, the sample (125 microns of thickness) display has highly colored striped, and it forms approximate circle around zero-lag point.Observation tool There are 50 microns of thick films of similar refraction rate, it is found that it has zero-lag point in identical position, but display has interval much broader Striped.5th striped of latter sample extends nearly to the center (normal incident angle) of view.
Main (tentering) PET film in crossweb direction stretching shows the striped with tight spacing, but the center of curvature is just Outside conoscope visual angle.Curve 500 shows that these symmetric points cannot be observed in atmosphere, is only displayed at 90 degree of incidence angles About the 6th striped.
Although possibly cannot obtain these accurate refractive indexes using PC, curve 504 is listed with makrolon (PC).Purport There is the low class film of the birefringence of zero-lag point outside expression in atmosphere 90 degree, but it is displayed that with birefringence A low class film medium to birefringence.Even if be coated using diffusion coating, the color observed on these films May be offensive, because these films show that the minimum strength modulation with the wide scope depending on wavelength is adjusted with maximum intensity System.
Use the refractive index calculated curve measured on the biaxially-stretched film of sPS and restricted uniaxial tension (tentering) film 506 and curve 508.The thickness of film is of about 50 microns, and the calculating of retardation curve assumes that film thickness is 125 microns. The bright striped of coloring is observed on 50 microns of biaxial stretch-formed sPS films of thickness.By curve 506, it is evident that at 45 degree Low order striped is observed, for 50 microns of films of thickness.Predict tentering film in all incidence angles by curve 508 Place all has high rank striped.On 50 microns of tentering sPS films of thickness, light face is only observed at nearly 75 degree of incidence angles Color.125 microns of films of the same type of thickness should show with it is less, may tend to without observable color.
Can be reasoned out from Fig. 3, depending on wavelength Strength Changes and (therefore) color may depend on and incidence angle and enter Penetrate both planes (azimuth).The object of the curve 502 in Fig. 5 is returned to, alongDegree azimuth is directed to three incidence angles (0 degree, 30 degree, 60 degree) is transmitted to twin shaft PET and modeled.The figure line of Fig. 6 shows, in this case, transmitted intensity change with Incidence angle and increase.Because minimum is substantially reduced close to zero transmission value, therefore mean intensity at multiple wavelength at 60 degree. For the same reason, the tinctorial strength for coming direction since then may be high, even if it is produced by high-order striped.Suitable diffusing surface Coating can hide this color, but intensity will be relatively low.Generally speaking, what this bad optic response caused to substantially reduce is average Penetrate value and obvious tinctorial strength.
At the viewing angle closer to zero-lag point, the display from low order postpones striped of twin shaft PET film has denseer face Color.In the figure 7 such case is shown for the plane of incidence at 5 degree of azimuths.47 degree of incidence angles in the plane are non- Very close to zero-lag point, it is at about 47 degree of incidence angles and 0 degree of azimuth.In noticing that feux rouges (i.e. at about 660nm) is transmitted Minimum value wide.All it is difficult to shelter this color with any diffusion coating.The average transmittance of 47 degree of incidence angles only has 12%.
